Meanies??!!

I just don't understand it, why do people feel it necessary to be mean? I called a lady the other day trying to do business with the online company she works for. She did not seem eager to talk to me. Then when I started asking her questions, she was ugly to me. She ended up telling me maybe their website wasn't the best place for me to advertise. Then when I asked about nationally advertising with her company, she actually said to me, "Well, that's for people who actually have $10,000 a month."

I'm sorry, did she some how get a hold of my bank account information? How the heck does she know how much money I have. I could be a billionaire for all she knows. Then I ask her what are the average click thru rates on the ads on their site. She said she doesn't have that information. I said, "Local vendors have to know what their click thru rates are." She said that's their information and wouldn't give it to me. I said, "I'm not asking for their specific information, I'm asking for the average." She said she doesn't have it. I said, "It's hard for me to believe a reputable, well-known company like them wouldn't have it." She said no they don't keep track of that. I said okay, bye and hung up. Why would a person that I'm wanting to do business with act like that? I immediately emailed a lady who sent her to me and ask to speak with a different local rep. I refused to do business with someone who treated me that way. Oh and by the way, the next lady I spoke to said they do keep track of that information, and she had no problem giving it to me.

Then I run into someone I know today and he says to me, "Oh great look who it is," in a sarcastic tone. I see this person five days a week, and I don't understand why he couldn't just say, "Hi" and leave it at that?

Why do people think they need to be mean or ugly? It doesn't make anyone feel good to be treated that way. It only makes the mean person look worse in my eyes. Didn't their moms teach them, "If you don't have something nice to say, then don't say anything at all?" I mean, after all, we all have to live in this world together, why not make it as easy and fun as possible?
